Lousy Truth

Girl, I've been thinking a lot

about who we could have been

if i was back home just chilling

with you and all my friends

But dear I'm gone

and that's the lousy truth

For the past 3 years

I swear I've been a better man

than who I've become

I know, I know, I know I let you down

But I've been gone

for too damn long

So if you go away right now,

then I can guarantee

that I won't break your heart

But if you go and stay,

then baby I will hope and pray

that you would run away

Cause dear it breaks my heart

to see you here

So shine outward, not inward

You've been a selfish little girl

for the past 3 years

I've been through more than you can know

and God I don't want you to know

What I have been through

cause you just wouldn't understand

you're just a girl with some issues

as bad as it might sound

But you're the girl

who's been driving me mad

So if you go away

right now then I can't guarantee

that I won't break your heart

But if you go and stay then baby

That i will hope and pray

that you would run away

Cause dear breaks my heart

to see you here

So go to school in Chicago

find a new boy, a new life,

a whole new set of friends

Cause all that I'll ever do is break your heart

and dear it breaks my heart

to see you here

Yeah, dear it breaks my heart

to see you here

But just so you know...

I've been thinking a lot of

who we could have been

if i was back home,

just chilling with you and all my friends

But dear, I'm gone

and that's the lousy truth.
